Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is sometimes confused with Mitsubishi Electric. Although the companies share the Mitsubishi name and the famous logo, they are separate companies in every way. Mitsubishi Electric was formed in 1921, and has also seen world-wide expansion of its operations, the most familiar to us in the UK are probably TV's and video recorders.

In air conditioning the two companies have different factories and product ranges. They compete for market share in Japan and overseas, and have completely separate distribution arrangements.

The origins of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, MHI, go back to the last century, shortly after the foundation of the first Mitsubishi companies in 1871.

The involvement of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning dates back to 1915, when it first manufactured refrigeration plant for ships. MHI now manufactures air conditioning and heat pumps systems, cold storage refrigeration systems, compressors for car air conditioning, coach and bus air conditioning units, refrigeration units for road and marine transport containers, large absorption and turbo chillers, and district heating and cooling plant.

MHI is one of the largest suppliers of split systems to Europe, and has an extensive range of packaged systems and variable refrigerant multi systems. Its production plant at Nagoya manufactures over 2 million units per year, and its ongoing investment in research and development ensures its position as a global leader in technology, quality and reliability.
